Military Appreciation Month is Here!
Can you believe it's May already? It's time to come together and share our appreciation for the military all month long.
Keep reading for five ways you can show your support for the military through Soldiers' Angels! And be sure to mark your calendars with all of the important Military Appreciation Month dates listed at the end of this email.
1. Support Military Working Dogs
We're currently supporting a lot of deployed dog handlers who had requests for some special items for their hard-working pups. We need your help collecting these dog essentials and shipping off these canine care packages! Hurry— this collection campaign only lasts from May 1-7.
2. Make Paracord Bracelets
Not only are they useful survival items, but creating a paracord bracelet requires a personal touch and is an item that a service member could carry with them at all times. Personal items like this have a tremendous impact on morale and often become cherished by the recipient.
3. Say "Thank You" & Spread the Word!
These handy cards are a great way to say "Thank You" the next time you see someone in uniform while you are out and about. In addition, it helps spread the word to active duty service members about the support they can receive from Soldiers' Angels when they deploy! The cards are business card size so will fit great in a purse or wallet. Check them out on the Angel Store for only $2.00.
4. Become an Angel to a Service Member
We are always in need of more individuals to stand up and support deployed service members by sending care packages, letters, baked goods, and more. Take a look at our wide variety of virtual Angel volunteer opportunities and discover a way to show your support now and beyond Military Appreciation Month.
5. Go Camo!
We are still in need of more hygiene, snack, and down-time items to pack in care packages for deployed service members! Help us boost the morale of deployed and support the Go Camo care package collection through June 30th. Set up a collection bin at your office, school, church, or other group! Or shop off of our Amazon Wishlist.
